Boost Guage install question.

[SoniCraze]

real fast, can u put it on any vacume line? I had a friend install it for me and he just found a vacume line, split it and boom, seems to work fine. Just wonder if it could be inacurate for any reason.

 

[Dr.Sound]

any line would work

 

[CustomMSP]

I found that if I used the fuel pressure regulator line the niddle in the gauge fluctuated at very lite throttle pressure. If I used the line that connects to the top of the intake manifold close to the throttle body it worked fine.

 

[Dr.Sound]

can u post a pic of the second line u used?
thanks

Yea, the Intake Manifold vaccum line will work just fine.

My Boost Gauge line

This is where I tapped into the system for my boost gauge. I used a "y" vacuum hose fitting and secured it with very small black zip ties. Works fine for me. The pic is the back of the engine on the top middle of the manifold. The small vacuum line goes to an accuator of some type. The black/red hose goes to my gauge.

Here we go...

Another shot...

 

[Dr.Sound]

i remember now

that's where i had it tapped in on my orange car.

thanks a bunch!

does the 'y' hose fitting, come with the guage?
I have my guage on order and it should arrive anytime now, but i'm not even sure what is coming in the box, other then the guage and a few vacumn lines.....

Nope..I had to buy a t-fitting from Autozone.

Interesting. Just goes to show again that that source isn't a good one.

What solenoid is that?

 

[deckedoutmp5]

its the one that goes on your intake pipe.

 

[JDM Sam]

Yea i tapped mine at the intake manifold and it worked perfect.
The defis come with everything you need and I highly recommend them.
